KivWaHistory Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I would be very interested if anyone had stories of the 'Battle of Walkley' passed down to them - a running battle between police and unemployed men on Providence Road in the summer of 1922.

chuckster Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Don't live in the UK anymore, but used to live in King James Street, opposite Walkley School gates. The houses were pulled down in the late sixties and we were re-housed on the Kelvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
